DhvaniThis word means "sound" literally, but does not deal with the fhction of sound in the musical sense. The theory was first propounded by Anandavardhana, the ninth century thinker, in his treatise, Dhavanyaloka (Dhvani+aloka). The Dhvani theory considers the indirectly evoked meaning or suggestivity as the characteristic f a e of literary utterance. This feature separates and determines the literary from other kinds of discourse, and is an all-embracing principle which explains the structure and function of the other significant aspects of literary utterance: the aesthetic &e,d or rasa, the figural mode and devices (alamkara), and so on. In Kapoor's words, "all the subsequent literary theorists in the tradition found the combination of rasa and dhvani theories both adequate and sufficient to analyse the constitution of meaning in Indian literature. " In his treatise I have mentioned before, Anandavardhana has given a detailed description of structural analysis of indirect meanings. According to him, if we can explain how indirect meanings arise systematically, we can claim that all potential meanings inhere in a text. Anandavardhana uses the term dhvani to designate the universe of suggestion. (The soul of kmya is dhyani, he says). His preference for the term sprang from the fact that grammarians before him had used the term to denote several concepts. First, to denote the sound structure of sabda or words; second, to denote the semantic aspect of sabda; and third, the complex of the now revealed suggested meaning and the process of suggestion involved. Thus drvuni theory is a theory of meaning (an Indian hermeneutics or sorts), of symbolism. The thrust of this theory is towards claiming a greater value for the poetry of suggestion.

Anandavardhana integrates the theory of the rasa with his dhvani theory; that is, he says that dhvani is the method through which the effect of rasa is achieved. Rasa is the effect of suggestion. Mimesis

For Plato (429-397 B.C.), 'poiesis' or what we call literary theory or even criticism was an imitation or, 'mimesis'. ('Poiesis' (GK) translates into poetry, in English, but the focus of these two term is very different, for the Greeks lyric poetry had a very small part to play as compared to the epic or drama. Plato and Aristotle moreover theorised not about lyric poetry, but about tragedy and comedy, about drama, so Richard Harland suggests the more appropriate use of the terms literary theory/criticism for the Greek 'poiesis'). Plato called 'poiesis' an imitation or 'mimesis' because he believed drama to be a reproduction of something that is not really present, and is therefore a 'dramatisation of the reproduction' (Richard Harland, p.6). What he means is that in a play or an epic, what happens is this - the poet recreates an experience, the audience watch that re-created experience, they are in fact encouraged to live through that experience . as if they are physically within the time and space of that experience. Not only this, Plato, also goes on distinguish between 'mimesis' and 'digenesis'. "Mimesis' is the speech of a character directly reproduced,' whereas 'digenesis' is 'a narration of doings and sayings where 'the poet speaks in his own person and does not try to turn our attention in another direction by pretending that soineone else is speaking .' [Plato, quoted in Harland, p.7). With this distinction between 'mimesis' and 'digenesis', it is easy for us to discern that drama is entirely 'mimet~c' , whereas epic is mi metic only where dialogue is reproduced rii t e%:!' t. where the poet t r l l s (lie ~ [ O I, il I ,d i 'r IV. / $C' .I !] .iiurt, this is what larv

...Q2: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_Wordsworth_or_Coleridge_have_greater_influence_on_modern_criticism
Q3: New Criticism is a form of literary criticism that triumphed as the predominant critical form in the 1940s through the 1960s. John Crowe Ransom is responsible for naming it in his book of the same name, published in 1941. It quickly became “the” way to read literature and poetry, and was taught in both college and high schools. The underlying idea is that the intent of the author is not important; the text itself is all that should be examined.
Literary criticism prior to this form had considered a number of ways to interpret literature, with no consensus as to the best method. Some critics evaluated literature in terms of the author’s history, showing how works were representative or differed from the time periods in which they were written. Others evaluated works in terms of the author’s life and background.
New Criticism differed greatly from previous forms as it dismissed authorial intent, and particularly ignored biographical and historical information about an author. Instead, literature was to be interpreted based solely on the cohesiveness of the work. To a New Critic, whatever the author intended was not relevant, as the form of the work always transformed intent, producing new meanings. The critic’s position was to evaluate various aspects of a text that produced ambiguity. He or she analyzed metaphor, simile, and other rhetorical tropes that...

1. CAN ICTs BE INNOVATIVELY USED IN THE ABSENCE OF MINIMUM LITERACY LEVELS AMONG THE POOR?
Information and communication technology (ICTs) is a technology that has revolutionized communication. It’s a term used to describe both modern and old forms of communication ranging from the radios and telephoned to the modern technologies such as the internet and mobile communications.
NO ICTs cannot be used in the absence of minimum literacy levels among the poor, because deploying ICTs at the grassroots levels presents a number of major challenges. Given the present physical, financial and linguistic access constraints, there is urgent need to improve the conditions for equitable and affordable access, through which the benefits of the information age are distributed some of the challenges faced in implementing ICTs at the grassroots level include the following:
The telecommunication and electricity infrastructure in developing countries is lacking or is poorly developed in rural areas
Satellite and wireless technologies are now in used in some developing countries, but these are largely developed around urban cities. The initial capital for using these alternative technology is very high.
Policy and legal structures are lacking
Issues regarding legislation and regulation pose mounting challenges as ICTs application continue to be developed in many areas of the world. In most developing countries...

...﻿Assignment5 – Art and Abolition
By: Joshua Cardinale
Land of the Lotus Eaters – Robert S. Duncanson
There are several artist and paintings in the Sharon Patton book. To choose one particular landscape painting would be tough. Moreover, in choosing this painting and discussing why I think black artists may have used these landscape paintings as a means of expression during the abolitionist movement can be possible to do so. Within several of these landscape paintings, I do believe that I see possible hidden messages. An important topic in question would be if these particular artists during the abolitionist movement simply avoided the grim realities of slavery in America or not. The one that I believe hits all of these angles would be the landscape painting Land of the Lotus Eaters by Robert S. Duncanson.
I truly enjoyed the paintings of Robert S. Duncanson. To me, Duncanson’s landscape paintings are powerfully attractive to the eye. I find it interesting that he taught himself about art. He did this by lots of studying and copying engravings of famous European paintings. Before long, he was titled the best landscape painter in the west and being the first black to receive international recognition. Duncanson’s first large income came from Nicholas Longworth, who of this time was one of the most wealthiest entrepreneurs in the country and known as one of the most prominent are patrons and abolitionists. Duncanson’s eight murals were...

Web based vs. Standalone PC
Compensation is one of the most important parts of human relations. Compensation must conducted correctly and efficiently with little to none error. Reducing costs, enhancing service delivery and implementing systems that support a higher-performing workforce are all key themes in today’s HR department (2004). It is important for all employees to understand compensation and receive compensation without any unlawful discrepancies. Due to innovation, compensation is mainly conducted via software and internet. Due to innovation, human error has been reduced significantly which has been deemed positive for companies in regards to compensation. One of the new technological advances would be the web-based methods which have structured how compensation is being handled. Web-based solutions mechanize all of the administrative transactions. As a result, HR members are now freed to conduct other duties that would help drive performance for the company. In contract to the stand alone PC program, web-based solutions provide an array of advantages and processes. PC-based systems are stationery; this can become a burden to employees that are ready to go home and would not mind doing some work from home. In contrast, web-based compensation can be taken care of from home.
Some disadvantages that may occur when using web based compensation are the vulnerability to...

Hate crimes is a category used to describe bias motivation and it occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her racial group, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity and gender identity. Hate crime can be categorized by assault, injury, and murder. Criminal acts can include aggravated assault, assault, battery, vandalism, rape, threats, arson, and trespassing and stalking. Hate crimes usually involve convenient vulnerable targets who are incapable of fighting back. Factors that produce hate crimes are poor or uncertain economic conditions, racial stereotypes in films and on tv, scapegoating, and hate filled talk shows. The nature and extent of hate crimes according to FBI about 7,000 hate crimes incidents involving 8,000 victims occur each year. Although 7,000 hate related incidents seem like it’s a lot many hate crimes go unreported. Because of the extent and seriousness a number of legal jurisdictions have made a special effort to control the spread of hate crimes. Specific hate crimes laws originated after the Civil War that were designated to protect the rights of freed slaves. It is unfair to punish criminals motivated by hate more than those who commit similar crimes motivated by revenge. Recent research by McDevitt and his associates that made use of bias crime records collected by the Boston police supports Lawrence position. Mcdevitt found that the victims of bias crime experience more severe...
